1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In view of the high incidence of gastric cancer and the functions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), our study aimed to investigate the functionality of HIF-1α in gastric cancer, and to explore the diagnostic and prognostic values of HIF-1α for this disease. Expression of HIF-1α in tumor tissues and adjacent healthy tissues as well as serum collected from both gastric cancer patients and normal healthy controls was detected by qRT-PCR. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. HIF-1α siRNA silencing cell lines were established. Effects of HIF-1α siRNA silencing as well as PI3K activator sc3036 on proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells were detected by Cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay, and Transwell migration and invasion assay. Effects of HIF-1α siRNA silencing on AKT and VEGF were detected by Western blot. Expression of HIF-1α was significantly down-regulated in tumor tissues than in adjacent healthy tissues in most gastric cancer patients. Serum levels of HIF-1α were also higher in gastric cancer patients than in normal healthy people. Serum HIF-1α showed promising diagnostic and prognostic values for gastric cancer. HIF-1α siRNA silencing inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells, while PI3K activator sc3036 treatment reduced those inhibitory effects. Down-regulation of HIF-1α can inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer possibly by inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway and VEGF expression.
